Kyoto Tour Reviews

Great day sightseeing Kyotos best

This was a great tour of Kyoto. Yuri has a good knowledge of the attractions we visited and despite the fact that they were all extremely crowded she was able to fit our list and see all the attractions which included the Bamboo forests in Arashiyama , Fushimi anari and Kinkakuji . There was a fair degree of public transport between all the sites because they are far apart but that got us to see the inner workings of the public transport system without having to worry about missing a train or getting on the wrong bus. All in all a great day and highly recommended tour.
